The design of the case causes the holster to lose a grip area formerly on previous cases. The holster can’t hold the phone tight because of this so the phone falls out of the holster
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the Defender Series Pro XT Case. We have taken your feedback to the company for future consideration.
Very good quality which didn’t surprise me at all from OtterBox. I’ve used several of their cases in the past and had good results so I didn't hesitate to get this one for my iPhone 16 Pro.
Not keen on the jagged cutout for the camera button and was disappointed by the selection of colours and designs. Despite these downfalls, I still wanted the drop protection the defender series provides. It kept my previous phone in perfect condition after many drops.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best case! I just upgraded to the iPhone 16 pro and was excited to use this case , it protects the phone very well it’s easy put on I love the clear and the black around the edges & mag safe works perfectly! I’ve used otterbox cases since my first iPhone and never have I broke an iPhone they are my go to when it comes to phone cases I love the sleek design also protects the lens.

I'm really pleased with this case! The fit is excellent and it seems very sturdy. I'm left-handed and find the camera slot annoying but that's not OtterBox's fault; it just is what it is because of the iPhone's camera button. The product itself is excellent.
Summary: overall, happy with the purchase but the ultimate test will be when the phone is dropped. Fingers are crossed.
Build - looks well constructed, but time will tell how it holds up after extended use. Ergonomics - on the larger side, but slowly getting used to it but overall the feel is good though. Style - Otterbox has never been known for it's style but the cases could use some additional color choices, i.e., ones that compliment the colors of the iPhone. Functionality - mixed on the functional design, i.e., some are nice such as the flip cover for the e.g., the USB-C port which protects the port from lint / dust etc., where as the case has openings which do not protect the phone which could potentially be a vulnerability point. Price - on the high end.
